“And that is supposed to allow users to more easily understand how their content is shared with others,” AriAnna Goldstein, an associate attorney at Baird Holm, said.

Goldstein looks at page after page of those lengthy agreements every day.

“They’re generally not good at all,” Goldstein said.

But she said Facebook’s is different.

“I walked through the new tutorial and it seems like it will be a simpler way to see what really is actually out there,” Goldstein said.

In the new privacy basics page, Facebook will walk people through what others see about themselves, like posts, the profile, or likes and comments. It’ll also explain for a user how others view them, and show users how to easily un-tag themselves from a photo they don’t want others to see.

"So, if you have pictures that you share with the public, generally, Facebook can basically use that photo however they so choose, even for a commercial purpose," Goldstein said.

And then there’s what users see on their page, like advertisements and the content of the news feed. One of the big changes is that Facebook can now track users location to target advertisements, and users are the ones who have to opt out.

“That comes down to what an individual is comfortable with and whether or not they want to turn on those location settings or not," Goldstein said. "I think a lot of times, just online, we perceive that we have more privacy than we actually do."

With the changes set to affect more than a billion people around the world, speaking myriad languages, Facebook has tried to make it as easy to understand as possible. While you might get some control, Facebook still provides the guidelines.

“They provide the platform and we have to play by their rules,” Goldstein said.
